Provide newly-prepared information, on reproducible sheets, with graphic information at accurate scale (except as otherwise indicated), with name of preparer indicated (firm name). Show dimensions and note which are based on field measurement. Identify materials and products in the work shown. Indicate compliance with

standards, and special coordination requirements. Do not allow shop drawing copies without stamp indicating approval by the Contracting Officer to be used in connection with the work.

2. Equipment and Systems: Shop drawings for equipment and systems shall show ratings (where applicable), and how

components are assembled, function together, and how they will be installed. Shop drawings, product data, certificate of conformance or compliance, certified test or inspection reports, and other submittals for equipment, systems, and their component parts shall be coordinated and submitted as a unit. Multiple or piecemeal submissions are not acceptable except where prior approval is obtained from the Contracting Officer, in which case a list of data to be submitted later shall be included with the first submission.

3. Coordination Drawings: Prior to installation of sleeves and inserts for equipment, and/or the performance of work in spaces in which two or more trades are involved and in which the probability of interference exists as determined by either the Contractor or the Contracting Officer, submit composite coordination drawings for the work. Show the work of all involved trades in a scale not less than 1/2"

(12.7mm) = 1'-0" (304.8mm) larger if required by the

a. In case interference develops, the Contracting Officer will decide which work shall be relocated, regardless of which was installed first.

C. Product Data: Collect required data into one submittal for each unit of work or system; and mark each copy to show which choices and options are applicable to project. Include manufacturer's standard printed recommendations for application and use, compliance with standards, application of labels and seals, notation of field measurements which have been checked, and special coordination

requirements. Maintain one set of product data (for each submittal) at project site, available for reference.

1. Submittals: Contractor shall not submit product data, or allow its use on the project, until he has confirmed compliance with requirements of contract documents.

Submittal is for information and record, unless otherwise indicated. Initial submittal is final submittal unless returned by the Contracting Officer, marked with an action which indicates an observed noncompliance. Submit 10 copies, two of which will be returned. GSA may request additional copies when they need them.

a. Provide a preliminary single-copy submittal where required (or desired by Contractor) for selection of options by the Contracting Officer.

D. Warranties:

1. Submit written warranties to the Contracting Officer prior to the date certified for Substantial Completion. If the Contracting Officer's Certificate of Substantial Completion designates a commencement date for warranties other than the date of Substantial Completion for the Work, or a designated portion of the Work, submit written warranties upon request of the Contracting Officer.

2. When a special warranty is required to be executed by the Contractor, or the Contractor and a subcontractor, supplier or manufacturer, prepare a written document that contains appropriate terms and identification, ready for execution by the required parties. Submit a draft to the Government through the Contracting Officer for approval prior to final execution.

products for the work. Include "range" samples (not less than 3 units) where unavoidable variations must be expected, and describe or identify variations between units of each set. Provide full set of optional samples where the Contracting Officer's selection is required. Prepare samples to match the Government-furnished sample where so indicated. Include information with each sample to show generic description, source or product name and manufacturer, limitations, and compliance with standards.

1. Sizes of Samples: Samples shall be furnished in the sizes that are customary and standard in the particular industry involved, or in the fabricator's typical commercial sample sizes; except, samples shall not be smaller than the sizes indicated below:

a. Sample of Equipment or Device: full size.

b. Sample of Materials Less Than 2 by 3 inches: Built up to 8 1/2 by 11 inches.

c. Sample of Materials Exceeding 8 1/2 by 11 inches and adequate to indicate color, texture, and materials variations.

d. Sample of Linear Devices or Materials: 10-inch length or length to be supplied, if less than 10 inches. Examples of linear devices or materials are conduit and handrails.

e. Sample of Non-Solid Materials: Pint. Examples of non-solid materials are sand and paint.

f. Color Selection Samples: 2 inches by 4 inches.

F. Certified Test and Inspection Reports: Process each as either

"shop drawing" or "product data", depending upon whether report is uniquely prepared for project or a standard publication of workmanship control testing at point of production; process accordingly.

G. Warranties (Guarantees): In addition to copies desired for Contractor's use, furnish 4 executed copies, except furnish additional (conformed) copies where required for maintenance manuals.
